If you are still in Humboldt, check out the Eureka Coop.
They have some sweet jars that hold about 1/2 pound.

I can usually find mason jars at grocery or hardware stores. Don't know much in the way of alternatives. Good luck.

 

[habeeb]

have you seen the container store?

I would look around for size of mason jar you want, there out there. and considering there is the air sealer for mason jars..

 

[NorCalFor20]

damn that container store is bad ass too bad none near by

i literally went to 8 stores looking for 1/2 gal masons. finally went to a hardware store, thats your best bet for 1/2 gal masons...if you have alot of herb though its rediculous, i have like 40 1/2 gals sitting on a pingpong table in my garage ha

go to walmart in the section by the candle...the have HUGE ass jars that can hold a 1/2 lb (maybe more) and they have the rubber seals on them. I can stick my entire hand in there and shuffle buds around, and i'm no small dude.

i think in most reguler stores mason jars are seasonal...like at the end of the summer and stuff

 

[NorCalFor20]

yeah id have like 60 half gallon jars

rediculous i wish i could just use a trash bag, hahaha

maybe ill look into 5 gallon + jars with the rubber seal

Also, check candy shops...they sometimes sell those big ass jars that typically has candy and shit inside of it. I know the shop around me does...

i found some 20L glass storage jars too bad their sold out,

i am gettin desperate my weed is dry and i can't let it get too dried out

Sometimes Bed Bath and Beyond has large jars in their kitchen section. Also Ikea has some big jars. Neither are gonna be as cheap as mason jars, but they might help if you get desperate.

Tupperware is a good choice. Glad brand is airtight/smell tight.

I had a real smelly strain that I kept in gladware, open up a small corner and the entire room filled with the smell almost instantaneously.

You can't really knock trichs off the sides tho, but use it enough and you will collect some in a corner.

Also large pickle jars are everywhere. Its a bitch getting the smell out tho.

Every Ace Hardware I have been in from Ukiah to Williams has had 1/2 gallon mason jars. nobody else... but Ace for sure.

 

[kweb1989]

pickle jars?

pickle jars?

you could maybe use Pickle jars, I see 1gallon jars everywhere, sams club, Bjs, Walmart, Etc... I have even seen 5 gallons at festival in NC... pickle fest.... hehe...
peel the label off an stick on your own....

jw, anyone ever seen like pickled budz? or something like that where you can eat the bud/juice with nice high?

 

[flubnutz]

anybody use those kitchen containers, like for your coffee? they look good, stainless i think, snap seal nylon gasket. all kinds of sizes, probably fairly cheap tons of chinese import at the dollar store. lighter than glass, attached lid, don't break easy.

 

[mean mr.mustard]

Most of the reason besides a tight seal that mason jars are preferred over other containers is the fact that they are not PLASTIC... barring that any tight sealing nonplastic container should suffice. Any jar that used to be used for pickles still smells like pickles to me... but if they don't to you use em!

 

[Rollin Face]

The arts and crafts store Michaels always has 1/2 Gal Jars...pretty cheap too...

I concur w Mustard on this one too, Ive washed/rinsed/cleaned pickle jars since I was 10 and have NEVER got the smell out...eww pickely-marijuana...

You might be able to find something at a local homebrew store (beer brewing). Last I checked IKEA has jars too, but not sure what sizes.

Better to just order a dozen online. Jars in retail stores cost the same as jars online + shipping, at least in my area.
